Event details
Glass Ceilings Change Management is running an Employment Law and Policy Masterclass. The law on sexual harassment at work is changing in October 2024, when employers will be under a new duty to take ‘reasonable steps’ to protect their workforce from sexual harassment. Businesses employing people should be reviewing their systems and policies to ensure they are compliant with the new duties. When the new law comes into effect on 26th October, employers will need to proactively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
This comprehensive and engaging Masterclass will cover:
- what the new legislation requires alongside existing legal requirements
- what “reasonable steps” means and what employers need to put in place
- the possible consequences of not complying
- case studies and example scenarios
- how to update and draft employment policy to comply with the new duty
- how to put all of this into practice in the real world, not just theory
- Q&A.
By the end of the session, delegates will have a comprehensive understanding of the new duties which they will be able to apply in their workplaces, and a template policy approach to take back to their workplace.
